Mr S B. Sims, of Hamilton, has been elected unopposed as a member of the Auckland Board of Education, in place of Mr A. E. Manning who has resigned. The secretary of the Ngaruawahia Chamber of Commerce has received a letter addressed: "Chamber of Commerce, Newcastle, New Zealand," from a native firm in Calcutta, and it says, inter alia, "wishing to extend our export connection with the buyers of Indian produce in your town and the Fiji Islands in general," etc. That the "boys of the old brigade" can still hold their own with the younger men of the present day was instanced rather strikingly last week at Poro-o-toroa, when'two bushmen, whose joint ages totalled nearly 100 years, chopped out a 200-acre block of standing bush in the same time as three considerably younger men felled 100 acres of bush of exactly the same description.
